burning Of the New Lexington Plan.
lug Mill.

The New Lexington Planning
Mill, the property of Samuel Had
den, was discovered to be on fire,
yesterday morning about half past
three. Before the alarm was gen.
eral, or any aid could be rendered,
the flames had burst through the
roof and the whole building was
on fire. The Fire Company was on
hand and the engine worked well,
but all that could be done was to di-
minish the volume of flame and
protect adjacent buildings. Con-
siderable lumber in and near the
mill was burned. Most of the lum-
ber outside of the building was
saved. The Office, with an assort-
ment of hardware, was consumed.
The fire proof safe which was in the
Office, was badly warped by the in
tense heat, but contents are sup
posed to be unharmed.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Loss about $500; insurance only
$500. Until quite recently the
property was heavily insured. The
planning mill had been on fire n
number of times before, but always
in daylight, and the flames ex-
tinguished without any very ma
terial damage. The mill had been
in successful operation about eight
cen years. 1t is not known at pres
ent whether it will be rebuilt.

Death BY Accident.

Thomas Inman, aged 81 years,
was accidehtly shot at p. M, Sat-
urday, at Eaglesport, Morgan
county. He resided in New Straits
vile. He had visited friends at
Duncan's Falls and in Morgan
county, and on Saturday started
for home, and while near the
friends house he was visiting at
Eaglesport, he saw large fish in
the back-water. Mr.. Inman called
for gun, which was loaded and
brought to him by a friend, who
handed it across u fence muzzle
foremost. He took hold of the end
of the gun, and in bringing it over
the fence the hammer struck his
leg and the load lodged in his head
behind the ear, killing him in

Obituary.
May 8, 1887.

We regret to chronicle the death
of one of our most esteemed citizens
of Washington township, Hooking
county,, Mr.. Joshua Banter. He
was born in Muskingum county, o.
Oct. 1s, 1888, and was married to
Miss Martha Eickleberry; seven
children was the result of this union,
five of which still survive him, three
sons and two daughters, two are
minors.
Soon after their marriage they
removed to Hooking county, near
Ilesboro, where they have resided
until his death, on the morning of
May 1st. 1887, being aged IS years,
6 months and l3 days. Mr.. Balm
ter's health has been very bad for
more than a year and during this
time he suffered very much, but
with calm and considerate heroism
until the spark Of life had fed.
During his sickness he asked adj
mitance to the NJ. +. Church and
was likewise granted his request,
Rev. Dick, of Mt. Pleasant, otficia-
ting.
His remains were Inferred in
Ilesboro cemetry, Monday, May 2,
Rev. Dick conducting the funeral
services; many relatives and q
large concOurse Of friends attended.

4 Slight Disagreement.

1t will be remembered that when
Sherman was in the south fixing up
things with the people of that sec
tion he made great speech at
Nashville that was copied in Re-
publican organs all over the coun-
try. In the course of this speech
he made use of the following lam
guage which we take from the
COmmercial-Gazette of the 25th of
March:
Both sides felt that the abolition of
slavery was the necessary result of
the war, and it seemed to us if the
slaves were to be free they must be
armed with the privileges of free
men, and these were secured to
them by constitutional amend
ments. The attempt to enforce
these rights by National authori-
ties has thus far partially failed,
and now it is conceded that under
the limitations of the constitution
the rights of a citizen of a State
can only be enforced through State
or National tribunals, and where
the public opinion is intolerant, and
jurors will not do their duty, citi-
zen, either white or black, may be
without remedy for the grossest
wrong, except the right to migrate
to where his rights will be respect
ed.
Now about a month after this, on
the 9th of April, our wordy little
Governor made speech at
Pittsburg on the occasion of Grants
birthday, which was also given in
the c. G. and from which report
we take the following:
One of the last acts of his admin
istration was to use the troops to
protect the voters of South Carroll
ma from intimidation and violence
mt the hands of the Ku-kluX and
the rifle clubs of that State. 1t was
after his day before any Republican
countenanced the claim that if
State could not secure his rights
under the constitution and laws of
the United States ut the hands Ofthe
authorities of his State he was with
out remedy except only to migrate.
He had no patience with the idea
that the government should have
an uDquestiOned right, as all con-
cede, to go into any State of the
Union and there lay it's hands up
on any citizen of the State and
compel him to go forth and do bat
tie for it at the peril of his life, and
then be powerless when its author
ity was only invoked to protect
that citizen in every right the gov
ernment owed him, after he
should be mustered out of the SER
vice and be returned to his home.
He could not understand why the
State lines that were so low and so
easily crossed in the one case
should suddenly rise so high that
they could not be crossed at all in
the other. In other words, Gen
eral Grant was q Republican.
Now Is good time for these
brethren to meet and adjust differ.
